Swiftwood

This small settlement lingers near a deep creek and mostly takes its wealth from the nearby wood.
Short History: Swiftwater was founded by the wealthy Lescroi family who built a lumber mill on the large creek and hired people to gather lumber. It has existed for about 100 years (5 human generations). Mostly peaceful for its history the largest problems the village has had to face were the animals of the nearby wood. Recently however the villagers have begun erecting a palisade to prevent invasion by outsiders.
